Chapter 207: Fallen Into The Evil Way

When Great Zhou’s people sang praises about Zhou Xuanji, he was still journeying around the border of Great Zhou .

Sitting on Ah Big’s back, he cultivated quietly .

The battle half a month ago allowed him to build up more synergy with the Tianxia Map . The map could now absorb spiritual Qi and provide spirit energy for him more quickly .

Of course, one could only have breakthroughs when pushed to the maximum .

Zhou Xuanji felt rather pleasant . He began to appreciate the ingenious functions of the Tianxia Map .

Jiang Xue, who sat in front of him, turned her head and asked, “Xuanji, if you create a Sword Sanctum in the future, where will you set it up?”

In such a vast world where mountains and rivers ran across, choosing a place with good Fengshui required a significant amount of time and insight .

The Great Zhou Royal Capital was surrounded by mountains, and spiritual Qi gathered toward it from all directions, like a myriad of stars surrounding the moon .

The other empires had the same considerations .

Zhou Xuanji thought about it and replied shortly, “If it was me, I would set it up at the highest place so that I can look down upon the world . ”

Not far away, Beixiao Wangjian heard him and immediately turned his head . “I agree with this!” He exclaimed excitedly, “When people see it, they will have reverence for it . ”

The others joined the discussion as well .

“Back then, the Ten-thousand Swords Divine Mountain were formed with countless tall mountains with an immense aura . Even the Hegemon Sword Emperor went to the Ten-thousand Swords Divine Mountain to learn . ”

“Why don’t we go to Huangchu Divine Mountain? I heard that it’s 30,000 meters tall . ”

“Gangyuan World is even better, situated on the sea of clouds . ”

“Tsk tsk, planning about this already?”

“Will our Sword Sect allow demons to join? We have many demons who love to practice the sword . ”

Zhou Xuanji smiled at the exciting discussion .

He said, “A sword sect is not just about practicing the sword . The sword is primary, but you can teach them some other things . ”

His disciples in the future should at least have had some other capabilities, if not masters-of-all-trades .

Daoya Old Man chuckled, “Creating a sect is not that easy . Of course, it’s not difficult to just occupy a mountain and rule over it . ”

Zhou Xuanji nodded and said, “After this is over, we will find a place to settle down . Let’s cultivate for a few decades until all of your cultivations are high enough, then we will create a sect and turn it into a Sanctum . After thousands of years, we shall ascend together!”

The group laughed heartily . Even Jiang Xue was smiling .

The girl looked depressed for half a month . Finally, she began to feel better .

“I’ve sensed the Crazy Old Woman’s aura . We should reach her in half a day . ”

Daoya Old Man spoke and changed the topic .

“Is Jiang Wudi beside her?” Huang Lianxin asked .

“No,” Daoya Old Man shook his head and said, “But…”

He had a strange expression and stopped speaking, even though he wanted to say something .

“Just say it!” Chongming Demon Monarch stared at him .

The others felt anxious too .

Could something terrible happen to the Crazy Old Woman?

“There’s a demonic aura beside her . ”

Daoya Old Man said solemnly, and everyone was shocked .

Could it be that she fell in the hands of evil cultivators?

“Let’s move faster!”

Zhou Xuanji ordered, and everyone sped up immediately .

…

Six hours later .

The group came to a wasteland . Vegetation was sparse on the undulating mountainous terrain in front of them . Under the sunlight of dusk, everything looked crimson .

Zhou Xuanji said to everyone, “All of you hide here first . I will go and take a look . Wait for instructions . ”

Behind him, at the horizon, the demonic Qi was surging toward the sky . It looked like a demonic nest, and the bone-chilling wind was sweeping across the ground .

The group had no objections . Zhou Xuanji was the most powerful person in the group, after all, so they could trust him .

Jiang Xue held onto Zhou Xuanji’s hand and said, “You must be careful . If the situation is special, come back on your own first . ”

“Don’t worry . If I want to leave, who can stop me?” Zhou Xuanji said confidently .

After that, he dashed toward the place of surging demonic Qi with the Eight-step Sword Lunge .

He did not fly on the sword, in case he alerted the enemy .

Daoya Old Man said to the group, “Cultivate now . I will guard you guys . See how powerful Zhou Xuanji is now, you cannot become his burden . ”

Everyone agreed and sat down in cultivation .

The red Qilin laid on the ground . It looked at the direction of Zhou Xuanji’s departure and wagged its tail non-stop .

On the other side, with the Qi Obscuring Incantation, Zhou Xuanji came to a small mountain . He leaned on the mountain wall and popped out his head to take a look .

In front of him was empty ground with mountains on three sides . A fire illuminated the mountain walls .

Hundreds of demonic cultivators gathered here and cultivated around a campfire as they chanted the same incantation in unison .

“Tanhua in the Human World, Asura in Hades . Life is suffering, death is inescapable…”

“Ascend and be deified, descend, and be diabolized . Ask the Original Heart to discern the mind of deity and devil…”

“If one gives up on cultivation, there will be nothing to fear . If one slaughters the world, there will be no responsibility to bear…”

Zhou Xuanji frowned . Tanhua Sect again!

* Why does this evil sect follow me everywhere?*

He scanned through the place and saw an old woman amidst the hundreds of demonic cultivators .

She was wearing an old, grey robe . Her hair was entirely white, and patterns of blood ran across her face, giving her a hideous appearance .

Could she be the Crazy Old Woman?

She joined the Tanhua Sect?

Strands of demonic Qi streamed out from the demonic cultivators and formed into a giant head at the center of the three mountains . The head swayed with the wind, which made it difficult to discern whose face is that .

“The highest cultivation was merely Astral Projection Level Two . There was nothing to fear . ”

Zhou Xuanji said to himself . After that, he took out the Dog Culling Sword and swiftly came to the old woman with the Eight-step Sword Lunge .

“Enemy attack!” The old woman was frightened and cried out .

The demonic cultivators jumped at him and surrounded Zhou Xuanji with their enchanted artifacts .

Zhou Xuanji stared at the old woman and said, “I’m here for you on behalf of Jiang Xue . Don’t you want to see her?”

Having heard that, the old woman frowned . Her face looked even more horrifying .

“Brat, who are you? Do you want to die?”

A muscular man roared furiously . He had a broad, blood-stained ax in his hand .

Zhou Xuanji ignored him . They were mere ants .

“You don’t want to see your granddaughter?”

Zhou Xuanji asked with a frown as his eyes turned increasingly hostile, looking at the old woman .

Leaving her grandchild to join the evil sect . Where was her conscience!

“How are you related to Jiang Xue?”

A voice came from Zhou Xuanji’s back, and he looked back .

A beautiful lady dressed in a black robe walked over . Her charming face looked a little more than 30 years old . Along with her fascinating figure, she emanated a seductive aura of maturity .

“None of your business!”

Zhou Xuanji said unpleasantly . He was in a bad mood .

“I’m Jiang Xue’s grandmother . ”

The black-robed woman replied with a complicated expression .

“…”

Zhou Xuanji was stunned . His mind was blank for a moment .

“Everyone put down your enchanted artifacts . This person’s cultivation is extremely high, we cannot fight with him head-on . ”

The black-robed woman waved her hands and said . The demonic cultivators listened to her and kept their weapons .

“Who are you? Why are you here for Ah Man?”

She stared at Zhou Xuanji and continued to ask .

Ah Man was the name of the old woman, who was also looking at Zhou Xuanji in confusion .

Zhou Xuanji smiled awkwardly and explained to the black-robed woman, “I’m here for you . I’m here to help Jiang Xue find her grandmother . ”

What about being a Crazy Old Woman?

Why was she so beautiful?

He looked at the black-robed lady carefully . Somehow, her eyes and brows were really similar to Jiang Xue’s .
